On the mend...

Yes, we're all starting to feel a bit better. Colby is actually doing very well and only has two more days of his medication. He is hardly coughing at all anymore and I can tell he's pretty much back to himself because... he's not napping anymore! Yep, clear indication that the old Colby is back! When he was sick, he was so cuddly, wanted to snuggle with Mom all the time and napped great! Sadly, these moments are gone! But he's getting better, which is more important! :) Jenna has a bit of a cough occasionally still, but is doing much better. I hope her cold continues to improve and doesn't turn into anything else! My medication has been slow to kick in this time... I have a sinus infection (surprise, surprise!) and have not felt well in nearly two weeks. Today is the first day that I'm starting to feel like I'm on the mend. It's sure no fun being sick!

We had a great Valentine's Day weekend... low key, but great! On Sunday, Colby and I did quite a bit of baking! We made a giant heart chocolate chip cookie from a big heart cake pan. It was fun and delicious! Then we made heart-shaped sugar cookies and decorated them! He had fun working the cookie cutter and putting on the decorations and sprinkles. My, my, there were a lot of sprinkles to clean up! But the fun and enthusiasm he had was more than worth it! We had a fun weekend hanging out together and enjoyed Family Day together. It's nice to have Gerry home during the week on long weekends, as it doesn't happen very often.

This week was back to normal... we went to Preschool on Tuesday morning and had fun making Olympic and Canadian Flags for the craft. Colby is really enjoying the Olympics on TV and has been cheering "Go Canada Go" with his flags! It's pretty darn cute!! This morning we had Tick Tock Time, followed by some time at the playgym and then home for the afternoon. Colby and I baked banana bread and played in the afternoon while Jenna had a great nap. Swimming lessons were fun tonight... although very strange with only 2 children there, including Colby!! He's definitely improving in some areas. Last session and even at the beginning of this session, he wouldn't jump in on his own... he would need to hold hands. Now he is jumping in no problem! It's great to see improvement and his love for swimming!

I can't believe our baby girl is going to be 5 months old in a couple of days! We're going to get her weighed and measured this weekend... I know she has definitely put on weight and am hoping she has grown in length too! She hasn't been sleeping very well at night lately. This has been an adjustment, as she has been sleeping well through the night since a very young age. She is having a hard time putting herself back to sleep and is needing to eat in the middle of the night, which is very strange. I think we're going to start her on rice cereal soon. Hopefully her sleeping patterns improve quickly... it's tough getting up in the night again! LOL! She is doing great! Jenna's a pretty easy-going baby and likes to watch everything going on, especially everything Colby is up to! She has big smiles for him and likes "talking" with him too. Jenna is SO close to rolling over from her back to her tummy. She gets onto her side and then can't go the rest of the way. Soon, I'm sure... she likes tummy time, so hopefully it doesn't scare her too much once she finally does roll over! I love playing with her and helping her to interact with toys. She focuses on things very hard (just like Colby did) and you can see the concentration in her eyes! LOL! I'll keep you posted on her 5 month weigh-in this weekend!

We've been enjoying the warmer weather and have been outside quite a bit this week. Hopefully it continues... I can handle this kind of winter weather! :) The kids and I enjoy walks around the neighborhood and playing at the park nearby. Colby's a big fan of snow anywhere, so he's not too picky whether we play at the park or in our yard! But I am definitely looking forward to the arrival of spring! Fingers crossed!

Have a great weekend everyone!
